Khola Watch Tower
About 16 km from Rajnagar in Kendrapara, this watch tower looks out over creek and forest habitat that can be surprisingly active with wildlife and birds between November and March. It sits within a sanctuary area, so the moderate road access is part of the deal — plan your timing accordingly for a full day trip. An entry fee applies in the mid range — see the fast facts for the current rate. Shade and parking are available at the site.
